The incessant rain continued to make life difficult for both Imokilly and Sarsfields in the second Cork senior hurling championship quarter final at Páirc Uí Rinn tonight. However, it was three-in-a-row seeking Imokilly, and favourites for the title, who are through to meet St Finbarr’s in the last four.

Sarsfields 1-19 Ballyhea 1-13: There may have been some confusion about the final scoreline in Fermoy yesterday in this first round Cork SHC game with the full-time scoreboard reading 1-18 to 1-14.

Imokilly 1-24 Sarsfields 2-21: Paudie O’Sullivan’s 64^th-minute equaliser for Imokilly ensured that the East Cork division and Sarsfields must meet again to determine Blackrock’s opponents in the Cork SHC final.

Na Piarsaigh 0-20 Sarsfields 2-09

TWO goals in the opening half set up Sarsfields for a hard-fought win over Midleton in the replay of the East Cork U21AHC final at Ballynoe yesterday.
